Ernst Haas used the proportion masterfully in this photograph. The prisoner back home is a long figure that occupies almost half of the image. In comparison, the small crowd is passive, only the woman who shows the photography acts, however there is also inertia in her weary gesture. It seems that Haas came across this scene while walking down the streets of Vienna, in which case he displayed considerable acumen and photographic reaction rate to make this motion picture that resumes the chaos of displacement and the aftermath of conflict.
